Protagonists of tense moments during the promotion of the confrontation that takes place this Saturday (12), in UFC 314, Bryce mitchell e Jean Silva carried out another historic face-off at a press conference held on Thursday night (10). Despite his intimidating appearance and the support of the public, the Brazilian apparently was unsuccessful in intimidating his next opponent.

“I loved the press conference, I feel like the Holy Spirit was speaking through me. With my eyes, I conveyed the message that I am ready to die and I am ready to kill, and I said everything I needed to in that confrontation with just my eyes. He could not make me react. There is absolutely nothing that man can do to make me afraid. I have the Holy Spirit and the Lord, and fear is not an option. I am fighting against it with all the strength of the Lord within my heart – the real Lord,” Mitchell said on the UFC 314 Weigh-In Show.
